Overview
The LI-210R Photometric Sensor measures light with the same sensitivity as a typical human eye. The photometric sensor is ideal for evaluating illumination in work areas, exhibits, interior lighting, and in public spaces.
Mechanics
The LI-210R measures light with a precision-filtered silicon photodiode that is sensitive to light centered in the visible spectrum. It responds to light with sensitivity that is close to the human eye, as described by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) Standard Observer Curve. Cosine corrected to 82° incident angles for accurate measurements when the light source is not directly overhead.
- Absolute Calibration: ± 5% traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
- Sensitivity: Typically 30 μA per 100 klux
- Linearity: Maximum deviation of 1% up to 100 klux
- Response Time: Less than 1 μs (2 m cable terminated into a 604 Ohm load)
- Temperature Dependence: ± 0.15% per °C maximum
- Cosine Correction: Cosine corrected up to 82° angle of incidence
- Azimuth: < ± 1% error over 360° at 45° elevation
- Tilt: No error induced from orientation
- Detector: High stability silicon photovoltaic detector (blue enhanced)
- Sensor Housing: Weatherproof anodized aluminum housing with acrylic diffuser and stainless steel hardware; O-ring seal on the sensor base
- Size: 2.36 cm Diameter × 3.63 cm (0.93” × 1.43”)
- Weight: 24 g head; 60 g base/cable (2 m) with screws
- Cable Length: 2 m, 5 m, 15 m, 50 m (6.5’, 16.4’, 49.2’, 164’)

With A Modular Update, LI-COR Terrestrial Light Sensors Shine
For environmental professionals looking to measure light, the sun’s energy or photosynthetically active radiation, there is no better choice than LI-COR’s all-new line of terrestrial light sensors. The series, including the LI-190R, LI-200R and LI-210R, has been redesigned from the ground up and is more convenient, reliable and durable than ever before. The new design centers on a modular setup that lets users detach the sensor head from the base. This makes it possible to swap out sensor heads for calibration or to measure different light parameters. In addition, it adds to project flexibility, saving users time and money.
Testing CO2 Removal Strategies in the Pacific Northwest
The ocean plays a key role in carbon dioxide (CO2) removal and storage, also known as carbon sequestration. However, with increasing emissions, a large amount of CO2 escapes into the atmosphere, worsening climate change and leading to increases in surface temperatures. In order to mitigate some of these impacts, researchers like Ally Savoie at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are working hard to identify ways to safely improve the CO2 removal and storage capabilities in the ocean. Savoie started her career at Wright State University , where she worked in Silvia Newell’s lab examining biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in a river system. From there, she decided to pursue a master’s in marine science at the University of Southern Mississippi with Dr.
Smart Buoys Advance Climate Monitoring in Swiss Lakes
Lakes are sentinels of climate change . Globally, they are warming at an unprecedented but uneven rate, and in many places they also face direct human pressure, including from agriculture and recreation. In the Alps, scientists generally agree that climate change is of particular threat to remote lakes , where more pronounced warming threatens fragile ecosystems. Alpine Lakes in a Changing Climate Matteo Tonellotto is part of the team at the Environmental Observatory of the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland (OASI)–a multidisciplinary team of scientists, IT specialists, and chemical laboratory technicians committed to collecting, managing, and integrating high-quality environmental data.
Connecting with Nature in Real-Time at the Abernathy Field Station
Just five miles away from Washington and Jefferson (W&J) College is the 57-acre Abernathy Field Station . Generously donated by the Abernathy family in 2017, the field station has served as an outdoor lab to hundreds of undergraduate students over the years. Many classes use the Abernathy Field Station every week. For example, in BIO 111, students spend 15 weeks conducting their own research at the field station using a combination of sampling, field observations, and real-time environmental data, giving them a look into the world of science and a closer relationship with nature. “We like to start the students in the research process in their first Biology class.
